THE POPE's LETTER.

BERLIN, Feb. l3-The North Ger.
man Gazette remarks the notable dis
play of incapacity to conceive in
their full bearing the recent magistra-
ton of the pope's will in quarter
where the pertension is to make O
correct and profound comprehension
OF the objects OF the Catholic church.
The pope, the Gazette says, advocates
the septenato because it tendstouphold
peace and authority, which are of
equally vital importance for Catholic
ism and state and which Herr Wind
theirs undera mask of an ardent son of
the church, long ago opposed. Car
dinal Jacobini's letter is the pope's
protest to this abuse of his name and
order to obey encycical, wherein is
stigmatized the egotism of political
parties. They misreprescnt the Holy
See, who attribute to it dishonest mo-
tives. The pope desires the preserva-
tion of Germany, because it is conduc-
i've TO peace.
NO ELECTION MANIFESTO.
BERLIN, Feb. li.--The National
Zeiteing says: Emperor William has
decided not to issue his intended cleo
ton manifesto.
THE WAR SITUATION.
The Post says in reply to an inquiry
by deputy Eynern. in Landtag, as to
whether war is probable, Bismarck
said: you know quite as much as
l do. We live in state OF peace, but
look at the French preparations at
building barracks, the position of Gen.
Boulanger, the constant outcry of the
French patriot league during sixteen
years, then consider what we have to
fear from France" The Post recon-
mends that Germans who desire to
know the position Of the French on
the frontierto study map preparedat
Wurtemburg by Major Troltsch,
published at Stuttgart, which shows
that hetween Paris and the eastern
fror oops of the line combined with
pre- deserves, form an effective
fore 100000, which can be tripledl
in n i~w days. 10y
A DENIAL.
The Germans deny that Windthorst
kept secret Cardinal Jacobini's letter,
and assert that the first letter was
made known to the center leaders
only through the press.

MONTE CARLO, April IA heavy
landslide occurred here to-day. Inn.
mense masses of rock and earth slid
down, and now entirely block the rail-
way and carriage road. Trains from
Cannes and Mentone, we'll laden with
tourists, had marvellous escapes from
destruction, getting over the tracks
just in time to avoid annihilation.
The landfall is so great that it will
stop all railway communication with
Monte Carlo tor at least twenty-four
hours. The landslide was undoubt-
edly the result of the shocks which
the promontory received during the
earthquake which began along the
whole Riviera on the morning OF Ash
Wednesday. The first shock was the
greatest in force. 1t will be re-
membered that while all the other
towns in the Riviera were shattered
by these earthquakes, Monte Carlo
was pronounced unaffected. Scien.
fists ascribed this to the solid rocky
character OF Monaco g formation. Refu-
gees from all the other resorts fiocked
here. To-day's vast landslide occur
ring as it did at point where engi-
neers generation ago caused, as they
thought, the complete removal OF all
unstable projections or overhangipgs,
and where for years the railway and
highway travel has been very great,
shows how violent the earthquakes
we're and that Monte Carlo, contrary
to general opinion,was in reality bad
ly shaken, although the population
did not notice it.

Lives Lost Near HurOn-Much Property
destroyed.
Prairie fire swept over great
portion of Grant township, in Huron
county, D. IT,, on the night of the 8th,
doing immense damage. Fred. Towns
house, seven miles south of Huron,
his barn and other buildings, together
with furniture, machinery and several
head of stock were destroyed. The
house was occupied by Edward Ma
loney and his sister Kate and with
them, when the fire occurred, was Annie
Marine. The wind was blowing gale,
and before they were aware of their
danger the fire was upon them. In
attempting to reach a plowed field all
were overtaken by the fire. Edward
Maloney and Annie Marine were
burned to death and Kate was so
badly burned that her recovery is
doubtful. Edwards remains we're
taken to Preston, Mimi, where
his parents reside. Other losses
are reported in the same
locality. Prairie fires are reported
from the Southern part of Lake
County, where some twenty-five
farmers lost their houses, barns, stock
and grain. One man was burned to
death. Reports from Northern and
Central Dakota report rain on

This will improve the grain outlook,
and will allay fears of prairie fires.

had placed it. The unfortunate young
lady eesayed to hold the deadly weap-
on while her lover fixed his muffler
about his throat, but it slipped from
her grasp and discharged as it
struck the floor, the bull
let penetrating her heart.
Mr.. Ruth is prostrated with grief, and
both families are wild with sorrow and
distress. Ruth says he carried the
pistol with him as it was lonely walk
to the home of Mr.. Sharpe. Every
arrangement had been made for the
wedding of ftheyoung couple and many
bridal presents bad already been re-
ceived. 1t was only last January
when Miss Carrie Scudder, one of our
most popular young ladies, by acci-
dent, shot herself while cleaning q pls-
tol, and the memory OF this is still
fresh in the minds OF our people. The
funeral of Miss Sharpe will take place
on Easter Sunday.
